my logo clearly states I am the Princess.
Even if there were no words on it you would know.
I like to be involved with my designers when we are developing a website, logo’s or print products.
I have ended up very disappointed when I let the designer just do it on there on.
Who knows better what stands for or identifies there own business but yourself.
I have found several designers in forums and my best designers have come from word of mouth.
I prefer and value professionalism over personality
Just my own personal opinion

Fri, 07 May 2010 05:54:33 +0000http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/?p=21093#comment-70489so i have a BIG question (or two) after writing this article:

1) as business owners, what do you look for in a logo and why?

2) how do you find graphic designers? and once you do find one, what do you look for in them (other than quality work and cheap pricing, ha!)?

ok ok one more. promise.
3) do you value professionalism over personality? i guess what i mean by that is… would you rather have someone who feels very businessy and treats you very much like a client, or you would you prefer someone who is more down to earth, friendly, and treats you more like a friend or business partner? there are things that a less formal person would do, like “sure ill throw in another design revision for you” that a more business-like design group would charge you because it states additional revisions are extra in the contract. or things like a businessy design group sending out invoices and professional communication, whereas a more relaxed designer might not send you invoices unless you ask and their emails sound very relaxed. i hope you see what i mean. i’m curious as to which you prefer, because i’m clearly the more personable type, but i’d love to know what you business people prefer.

Fri, 07 May 2010 05:41:10 +0000http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/?p=21093#comment-70486from my experience, online partnerships definitely do work! 99% of my work comes from clients who have either emailed me looking for design work, or have found me on forums or websites. in all honesty, i have done a lot of “one-off” projects where the client just needs q quick design, but i have also established a close working relationship many many clients as well. it’s a lot of fun having clients in spain, japan, europe, and all over the US.

if youre looking for someone, feel free to check me out. my website is http://www.hoshimo.com. you can also find me on linkedin or facebook and even twitter. i might be a good fit since my expertise is graphic design and not so much web dev (though i know basic html and css and how the web works) i would love to have someone who can bring in design work for me (which i love), and also have a person who i can outsource coding and web dev to (which frustrates me beyond belief sometimes)

Fri, 07 May 2010 05:35:45 +0000http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/?p=21093#comment-70485one of the most common complaints from clients ive had about their previous experiences with working with designers is that they had to hold their hand thru the whole process. it’s definitely one reason why looking for a good quality graphic designer is a plus. much less headache, much less time spent on back and forth communication, and much much more trust established between each other.

great insight.

You’ve convinced me that I should consult with a good designer that communicates well, has a sense of my style and wants to include me in the process for the design of my business logo. Thanks!

A logo should be evaluated not on how pretty it is but on how well it supports and advances the businesses goals. Here’s what to expect of a logo design, http://bit.ly/9TGSLj and you might be interested in a creative logo for a division of a Texas ranch in the artificial insemination business to produce superior beef herds, http://bit.ly/bhsM8C and more award winning designs if you want to get some inspiration, http://bit.ly/c62nPN

Thu, 06 May 2010 14:36:27 +0000http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/?p=21093#comment-70482Interesting read. Where do I start looking for a designer? Do online partnerships work, or do you need to know someone in your region? I’d love to collaborate with a graphic designer who is in touch with the web, but doesn’t want to build it himself. Sometimes I feel all graphic designers list webdesign as a skill, whereas I’d prefer to work with someone who needs me like I need her/him.
